Buddy seems to have leveled out (for now, they apparently grow for thefirst three-four years of their lives) at 15 pounds and 28 inches fromnose to butt, not counting his tail, which is almost as long as heis...so fully stretched out he's almost five feet from tip of nose totip of tail.

His latest trick -- he comes up with a new one every few days -- is togo up the stairwell to the bonus room a few steps, so he's already abit high, stretch as far as he can, reach for the hand-rail, balancinglike a ballerina on point, and peer around the corner when I come downthe hall so that I'm looking at a cat head peeking around the corner atnearly eye-level. Completely wigged me out the first time he did it.
